<a href="http://www.baumschlagerhutter.com/de/home" target="_blank">Baumschlager Hutter Partners</a> recently unveiled a sleek new ski lodge in the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/dome-dotted-eco-resort-is-a-winter-wonderland-in-the-swiss-alps/" target="_blank">Austrian Alps</a> that was inspired by the snow-capped mountains that surround it. Harmonizing with the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/snow-artist-simon-beck-stamps-a-new-crop-of-gorgeous-snow-patterned-fields-in-france/" target="_blank">snowscape</a>, the curvaceous Wildspitzbahn lodge gives skiers a warm place to rest and look out over the beauty of the Alps.

Made from steel and aluminum, the curvilinear structure is designed to deflect high mountain winds while drawing in as much natural light as possible. The structure blends with the natural <a href="http://inhabitat.com/top-6-eco-ski-resorts-to-hit-the-green-slopes-in-the-us/" target="_blank">Alpine landscape</a>, welcoming snow thrill seekers without marring the view.
